The Duke of York jokes with Nicola Schapira (left) and Dr Mike Thomas (second left) during a visit to the Royal Free Hospital on Tuesday. The duo will perform in the staff pantomime Aladdin in January the first time the hospital has put on a show in ten years. The Duke visited the hospital to see the country's first fully automated robotic pathology laboratory and its recently expanded baby unit. Photo: JONATHAN GOLDBERG
